Garudeina Oukoku Koukoku Ki Vol 2 Chapter 5

On the way to secure a population

 

The next day, which was the day determined to find more beast people, Georg and Ferris were flying over the large forest Garudina.

「Hmm~ …… This is comfortable as expected.」

「You look a lot more relaxed.」

「Yeah, can’t deny that.」

「Don’t get carried away and fall down.」

「I’m sorry, I’ll stop it.」

「It’s fine if you understand it.」

While they’re joking around, there were aiming for a human dwelling. They are looking for a big town with a large population.

「Apart from that: I think I overdid it yesterday.」

「To talk about your horrible meat dishes so proficient.」

「Wh…… When you say it like that……」

Why they were not leaving yesterday? It’s because he hunted and rolled up the demons and beasts around the town.

「Even the town and fields could be damaged if you leave even one barking threat.」

「Is that so?…… I think you are right.」

The clean-up operation of George, who turned into a dragon, raised overwhelming results. It took him a while to do that. From the start it was a town unprecedented in history with solid castle walls and castle gates one can be proud of. There is even a water moat to defend it. An absolute defense. While George is there, the demons and beasts will never approach, but it’s not working if he isn’t there.

They can repair a house or a castle wall when they are somewhat broken, but the crops and the orchard cannot. If they are damaged, he could replant them again from inside the forest and take care of them. However George, who wants to move to the next step of finding beast people immediately, cannot allow it to happen.

Therefore, all demons in a radius of approximately 5km around the town were thoroughly hunted. The bodies of the demons were but on the vicinity of the outer forest to induce other demons to stay in the forest. With the remaining wood, he felt like making a fence outside of the water moat and build it.

The outcome shows how serious George was.

「Apart from that, as soon we find new talented people, you need to guide them as their master.」

「Ee!! I am!?I haven’t heard that before!!」

「Because I didn’t say it before.」

「That’s not it! It’s impossible for me! 」

「It’s even more impossible for me. I can’t be in touch with all people all the time。The development of the city and the fields, then education and for some time even the preparation of the meals.」

「That can’t be……」

「And I don’t even need to say, that I’ll do everything alone. As for my free time, even if I watch over the trouble, I’ll keep in mind to not let you feel lonely.」

「………Really?」

「I’ll never lie to you, Ferris.」

「…… Understood, I’ll do my best.」

「Alright, good girl.」

He patted her head as he said that and made her blush.

「I…… I’ll not be deceived this way.」

「Is your tail swinging?」

「…………………」

She was an obedient, pretty younger sister.

「I can see it.」

「It’s huge.」

After flying for a while, the town came into sight. It’s made out of stone and was much larger than the previously seen villages.

「Well, are we walking from here on?」

「Yes.」

Before they approached too much, they landed on the ground and walked to town on foot.

「Did I do it properly?」

「Yeah, we did not fall down.」

The dragon skin clothes which I made yesterday are grasped in Ferris’s hand. I will exchange them for money this time to buy various things. Mainly things like blankets and clothes that Georg can’t make himself.

「A town this large should also have decent merchants. Even if they beat it down to a cheaper price, it should still be a fortune…… It should be fine.」

「……… The normal merchants are not able to buy them.」

Honestly, should I say my cast-off skin or perhaps my dropped skin? I don’t know what the buyer would think about it.」

「…… I think sometimes that the sense of value is different for us Dragunir.」

「Is that so?」

「Yeah……」

They got closer to the town while having a childish and heated conversation. After a while, he felt that Ferris steps got slower little by little.

「…… Are you scared? 」

「…… Yes…… I thought it would be fine, since nii-san is with me…… But I’m still a little……」

「…… I understand.」

Is she remembering the violence and the contempt glances she got from the humans until now?

「You know, it’s not necessary to come with me, Ferris. I can do the interaction alone. If you want you can wait here until I’m back.」

「I don’t want to! To be separated from nii-san ……」

「…… Are you afraid to be alone? 」

「Yes…… It’s not that I don’t believe in nii-san…… to come back…… But thinking about being alone……」

「I see…… I’ll not leave then.」

「Yeah……」

He strongly holds her slightly trembling shoulders and pats her head and her trembling gradually faded and her steps became steady too.

「Oh, I can finally see the gate.」

「Yeah…… It would be nice if our family increases soon……」

One can’t only hear anxiety in this deeply emotional murmuring. Aren’t there also some expectations mingled in?

These two walked to the castle gate where some guards stood.
